How R' Aharon Kotler Built The Largest Jewish Institution in the US | Inspiration for the Nation E26

Rabbi Aaron Kotler was the president of the Beth Medrash Govoha (BMG), also known as the Lakewood Yeshiva. BMG has some 7,000 students and 13,000 alumni, many of whom are leaders and builders of Jewish communities worldwide. The yeshiva is the engine of growth for the community of Lakewood, N.J., helping it leap from New Jersey’s 20th largest municipality to the 4th. As Lakewood has grown, Rabbi Kotler has been active in public policy matters, serving on various boards devoted to the expansion of regional health care, transportation, housing, education, and economic development. He is the son of Rav Shneur Kotler zt”l and grandson of Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l. * SPONSOR LINK * This episode is brought to you by "The Tannaim Series".
